Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book explores the latest developments in a multipronged preventive strategy to detect and treat asymptomatic patients at risk for future cardiovascular events based on severity of atherosclerosis … . will be of interest to medical students, allied health professionals, and physicians in training while working to inspire a paradigm shift in the thinking of cardiologists and practitioners involved in the treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease. … is well written and researched.” (M. A. Thompson, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2010)
“Is it time for comprehensive therapists to change the way they predict heart attacks, strokes, and other atherosclerotic disorders as proposed by the group of prominent cardiologists from the Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication (SHAPE)? Those proposals are beautifully described in this thoroughgoing unique new textbook. … Comprehensive therapists can contribute better to the controversy after study of the extensive contents of this innovative book.” (William H. Wehrmacher and Harry Messmore, Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, June, 2011)
